PA12 Nylon has outstanding properties, including high tensile strength and good resistance to creep, excellent abrasion, chemical and heat resistance, and a low coefficient of friction. The addition of fibers and fillers increases such properties as strength, stiffness, and decreasing moisture pickup.
Application: Automotive parts, roller skates, carpet, bike parts, kitchen items, sports equipment, and tool housings.
